Introduction
Bath Abbey is a magnificent Gothic church in Bath's center—next to the Roman Baths, famed for its great stained glass and fan vault, the city's faith landmark and architectural gem. Bath Abbey sits in the center by the Roman Baths, a magnificent Gothic church—built in the Middle Ages, mainly late medieval, a fine example of late English Perpendicular Gothic. Its west front has the unique 'Ladder of Angels' carving. Inside, the stunning fan vault over the nave and choir—among England's fan-vault masterpieces. Many great stained-glass windows (the 'Lantern of the West'). Floors and walls bear historical monuments. With the Roman Baths and Georgian buildings, a core World Heritage landmark. Admiring the abbey's fan vault and glass is a not-to-be-missed Bath sight.
